Attendees: Lili Davis-Burchat, Pam & Al Bowen, Don Evans, Sylvain Desjardins, Cathay Hoare, Terry and Carol Kouvoumjian, Keith Southy, Dianne Jones Regrets: Gerry McCall

  1. Membership survey results

    • Analysis showed that approximately 55% of our members would be open to curling however 50% of those would prefer a January start as long as it is safe to do so. This is far below the 75% assumption reflected in the financial scenarios that Lili created last month

    • Decision: We will not open for a Fall Draw.

      • A communication will go out to all members to notify them that there will be no Fall Draw and the decision will be made regarding the Winter Draw in late October or early November

        • Action: Sylvain will create a draft communication and send to the board for their input. Communication will include

          • The financial status of the club along with the fact that there is an option to make a donation and that they will receive a charitable donation receipt

            • We can use the CurlOn charity number to provide a receipt

          • A request for volunteers to participate in a fundraising committee

          • The Huntsville curling club will welcome any of our members

    • Lake of Bays still undecided about putting ice in for hockey

  2. Financials

    • Fundraising

      • Sylvain investigating government grants to assist

      • Action: Lili and Sylvain will create a few financial scenarios to determine impacts of not opening. This will include identifying what the membership fee would need to be if we are not able to do any fundraising

  3. Next meeting in 2-3 weeks once communication has gone out and we have some volunteers for the fundraising committee
